Yes I'm afraid so, checked ATO on line, it wasn't easy to find, also because I rec a spitl pension with NZ, the NZ component would stop because the arrangement only existed because I lived in Australia, mutual deal.

I actually found it on line at ATO with help from my tax agent

If one has an age pension and a passport, within 24 hrs I received an email noting I had left the Country. My passport was flagged so I was done, if my passport failed to pop up as being back in country inside 6 weeks my pension was stopped untill I had satisfied them with an answer. I was stuck in Thailand for 10 weeks because Airport on Koh Samui was closed during early Covid days. Centerlink accepted my reason and noted that I was registered with Australian Embassy for a flight home.

Australian pension policy is simple in that if you do not own a residence in Australia and don't live in Aus but reside in Thailand, then your Australian pension will be taxed at 35% as un earned income. That totally killed my aspirations.

Really? Headlines etc etc when farangs do wrong but not much about what the Thai contribution is...

Some celebration, no surprises there with very little control by authorities and no breakdown between Thai / Foreigners at fault, again, no surprises...

What about the Kiwi gunners at Long Tan, a tad one eyed with your remarks

They like the taste of Tutai ?

Great idea but for many of these drivers that would be too hard, anyway, "Management "wouldn't know how to go about it unless there was some money in it. This is a small change problem and no-one will do anything about it, look at the last election rip off and it's still not over.....

Amazing what money can buy. They shall reap what they sow, me thinks, but then it will be too late to recover from 3rd World status. Imaging the ratings for 3rd world countries, one wonders where Thailand will fall.

It's an age group thing, keep watching....

It's not flagged by Management as "Amazing Thailand:", for nothing

T.I.T

Teach them all a lesson, don't fly and have a party at home, if enough people say ENOUGH!!!! They might learn but TIT, there has been so much miss-management over many years its probably too late, the last election pretty much says it all.

What good guys lol, TIT

Indeed. The only things missing are a leg in plaster and a black eye patch to finish off the "Poor Me" criminal look.

I love Singapore Airlines for their service and support.

Government does naturally lol

You'd have to wonder who paid who for the load of codswhollop!

Perhaps these high flyers offended Russian Nobility, I read of a number of falling incidents of ranking dicidents who disagreed with the Ukrainian solution....

Excellent question!!

Lets not forget the fine that Parents won't be likely to pay, no money Farang, more jail time....

And of course, other Countries around the world are not watching this third world stage show.
